     So many cool things to do here in the Blue Ridge Mountains, too good to be true. Take a side trip to Laurel Springs Branch, and there is a fine hiking trail close by called the Mills Creek Trail. Don't stop me now, cause I'm havin' a glorious time here at Falling Rocks Lake. Dripping Rock is easy to spot from Falling Rocks Lake, and if you need a site to stay Wintergreen Resort is a glorious choice. All year is a glorious time in the Blue Ridge Mountains if  
   you have a thing about the outdoors. While staying at Falling Rocks Lake you could always explore Laurel Springs Gap, and nearby you hit upon the Kennedy Ridge Trail which is a nice hiking trail.
If you came for an overnight stay Sherando Lake Campground is a delightful place to camp, and if you come at the right time of year, Back Creek - South River Tributary offers some delightful whitewater. Now, you may imagine that's heaps but there's even more amusing
 
               stuff to do here at Falling Rocks Lake. Residence Inn Waynesboro is a wonderful spot to get some rest; you can hit the slopes at Wintergreen in the neighborhood.
For the period of the summertime months at Falling Rocks Lake temperatures are mostly in the 80's. Once the sun is down it descends down to the 60's. All through the winter highs are in the 40's with winter lows in the 10's overnight here at Falling Rocks Lake. The Blue Ridge Mountains scenery is always beautiful. You could also have a look at Maple Flat Ponds since you're here at Falling Rocks Lake; it's nearby, and Falling Rocks Lake is a spot with many visitors from Staunton-Waynesboro.
This lake is so wonderful. Whitewater paddling is not for everybody but if it's for you then we recommend Stoney Creek; the Turkey Pen Ridge Trail is a magnificent hiking trail nearby. This lake is so wonderful. A lake nearby is Happy Hollow Lake; camping is available at Kennedy Fields Campgrounds. The yearly precipitation here at Falling Rocks Lake is about average; the month of August is the wettest with most of the rain, and the driest of the months is February.

Sherando Lake Campground
Well me and my family have been going to Sharando Lake ever since I was born and we havn't gone anywhere else I love sherando and I can't wait to go back for another memorable camping weekend!...As close to perfect a camping experience as you can get: 1) Private, secluded, spacious campsites 2)access to flush toilets and showers, 3) a breathtakingly beautiful lake/swim area 4)hiking trails. WORD OF CAUTION: in-season, all sites are snapped up by Thurday noon for the weekend. Come on Sunday for best selection or before Thursday if you want a shot at a campsite. They don't take reservations (as of 8/2006) Wish they would so everyone could have a shot at a weekend camping trip there, not just the locals who can zip in and set a few camping chairs on the sites on Thursday to claim it for the weekend. ...
